ROFLMAO... I just went mudding in it. Even with the skinny street tires, it is freaking awesome! I thought I buried it for a second until it grabbed a bite and pulled out of the muck. I gotta get me some tires on this thing! :D

OK, time to stump the O'Club. I need a service manual for a Suzuki DB52T or one for a Suzuki F6A engine.
Any of you overseas guys have access to one?

Good luck, we're counting on you.

Did it take a while to get used to the right hand drivers position?

Hey RPM,

I hope you know that we're just pullin yer leg...  Your cute little truck is actually a fairly neat solution.  The thing is, it's a solution to a problem most of us either don't have, or haven't had since we were age 5 :)

Anyhow, we're just kidding and you should have fun with yer new little truck.  Once you get it blinged out, post more photos  :aok

haha Yeah, that clip is fake, but awsome none the less
Yeah I know what the deal is with my truck. Im going to a 3.73 ratio this summer. I cant drive it in the power band because that burries the speedometer (only goes to 85). With the online ratio calculators and what not I have a 6.9% discrepency  between indicated and actual speed. so that puts me at about 92 mph and rpms at about 2100 in OD. lol kinda rediculous.

Not really. The thing that keeps screwing with me is the turn signal is on the right side of the steering column. I keep turning on the windshield wipers to make a left turn.

I had that problem in the UK.  One little brit car had the wipers on the left, the other one we bought after wrecking the first one had the wipers on the right.  Irritating.

This day was good. I got up early and went to the junkyard. I found a set of 13" 4x100mm steel rims with brand freaking new mud & snow tires. They still had the whiskers on the tread. $100 for the set!  :D

The 13" tires cut down on horsepower, but considerably increased my speed and lowered rpm's.

I also got an inspection sticker today so I am 1 step away from getting tags. Heading to auto registration in the morning.
